ministrstion gives satisfaction to the commercial
and banking people, and the people and the gen.
eral business interests OF the country seem to de-
eire second term for his administration, to enable
the country TO place itself q firm financial foun-
dston. The advocates of the reelection of Presi-
dent Dlaz ground their support entirely on fnan-
cial and business considerations They assert that
the country requires relief from personal politics.
Thus far no formidable opposition TO the reel
ection of Diaz has arisen here.
Recent murders and poisoning of persons in the
interior of the country engaged in school teaching
and editing liberal newspapers, ETC., are charged
by the Monitor Republican, of to-day on fanatical
rural priests.
The Monitor gives the particulars of several
cases. One was a school teacher, Mexican young
lady, Protestant, who went to small will ge in
the STATE of Tobasco and was poisoned shortly
after the opening of her school, and though her
life was saved her reason is thought to be gone,
the poison was of that sort which destroys
the mind. Another case WAS the
murder of three Pro'estants in
the state of Guerrero by mob and the third case
was that of the recent murder of the editor of q
liberal party newspaper In the etate of Vera Cruz
who had attacked the church roughly, and who had
been denounced from this pulpits by his clerical
antagonists All the victims were Mexican citizens
and the Monitor calls for justice and protection of
the people of all creeds against the fanatics of the
interior. There is much agitation over these
disclosures, which Is likely TO cause punishment
to swiftly visit the offenders. There is disposi
ton exhibited in government circles to deal leni
emily with the authors of these astounding crimes

day, but there was no actual rain.

their surprise they found him kneeling en- the
platform and praying alone. They permitted him
to conclude his solemn entreaty, and then con-
Quoted him to jail. When the people heard OF the
